As a pedestrian I often notice that cars have their headlights on and it's broad daylight.Is it true that cars now have that built into the default mode.?If so why? Shirley it runs down the battery?
 
And the car charges the battery as it runs.
 
Automatic setting where the car’s lights come on at a level for how dark it is (
Clever) switch off the auto setting and you manually need to select what lights you need 🤔
nah running lights are always on and are seperate from your headlights , many cars you can have your headlights on auto which if selected would prevent so many people driving round in the dark with no lights on

I thought DAB was going to be a big improvement, but it's crap.
Although there's a massive choice of stations, the 'dead spots' where you lose the signal make it just an irritation if you're travelling a distance.

mine is utterly brutal , more flat than good spots . The thing is i installed a dab system into my last car with the screen type antenna and it was excellent

Daytime Running Lights moaty - it’s a safety feature introduced about 10 years back. Think it was a Scandinavian thing that got introduced across Europe
